| People are negative about Pee pads Why is it many people are so negative about dogs using pee pads indoors. I train my pup to use the potty on her pee pad. I'm not lazy it just works or us.... She's tiny and it's easier for her and us. I plan on keeping her trained this way but you hear so many rude comments about it. I mean it should be each to their own right? |

| My babies use pee pads too. It just works for us. They are home alone from 8am until about 4ish and I work to far away to go home at lunch to let them go outside. I couldn't imagine them having to hold it that long. I know I sure can't

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I am very lucky to be able to work from home, but my dogs are pee pad trained, because when it rains,or snows, they refuse to go out, so I pad trained them to go potty in the porch. it works for us, and let me tell you I got sick with the flu last year and I could not get out of bed, and all I had to do was lay in the couch and open the door to the enclosed porch, which it was a blessing to them and ME.. hugs, |

| On this site, most are positive about it. I've learned to just be more "eh, to each their own!" about it but I admit, when first joining this site, I had never heard of adult dogs using pee pads and thought it was gross. Plus I find that it's always the folks who use pee pads who say their dogs still have accidents, or miss pads, or go on rugs. I just find it confusing to the dog. How can you expect them to know the difference between a throw rug and a pee pee pad? And then some find it completely acceptable if they miss the pad while pooping because, well, they tried. So anyways, it used to bug me, but now I just don't care. Eh... if people don't mind doing it, all the more to them! I admit, it'd be really nice during some freezing nights and rain storms to have him being able to go inside, but I prefer him to know business is done outside and I don't like pee and poop inside period, but it's just my style and I won't judge others for their choices.

| Nice are both indoor and outdoor trained which is great when it's raining. I believe that more and more people are using pads. Just yesterday they had a HUGE display in Walmart. I've even seen them at TJMaxx recently. Personally, I only use washable from T. Bumpkins~just love them! Washable and reusable dog and puppy pee pads, belly bands, and diapers by T. Bumpkins & Co.

| I agree with Britster, to each their own. I prefer to have my dog trained to go outside. But if that is not your way of doing things, so be it. I do find it difficult to train a dog for both. Seems to confuse them. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Bigger dogs can have doggie doors, which allow them to relieve themselves when nature calls, however, it's not safe for a small Yorkie and because of predators, one should watch them when they go outside. Also, I like the idea that a dog can go when he wants to go instead of waiting for a human to open the door, so pee pads work perfectly for me. If you own a Yorkie, you can’t worry too much what other people think, they just don’t understand.

| I was excited to help someone esle having some indoor pottying issues and tried to pass on the pee pad solution. All I got in return was attitude, so with them, it remains my little secret to success.

| I've never used them for any of my dogs in the past and never thought about it when I adopted Ally, now 3 years old. I used them with Tia when she was a baby, but she started to eat them and I had to rush her to the ER because she choked on them. So, at the points, I don't use them. I do, however, wish I did because I live in Florida and it would be so helpful during hurricane season. |

Another advantage of pee pads is when the dog is older and has possible bladder problems, a dog use to going outside will probably not want to adjust to the pee pads.
